Surprise, surprise! When we travel we have a vague destination: We went to Prague for our first trip in Europe—that’s as specific as our plans were. Ben told me the one thing I needed to know: Prague is cheap! Next we went to Anatalyia, Turkey. When we boarded the plan I didn’t know anything about Anatalya, Turkey but since Ben paid the airfare with his credit card it. OK with me. Neither of us knew that we would have to pay $100 for an entry visa (almost everybody else–other than Americans–paid $5 or $10 dollars—Thanks a lot George W). Well this fall our distination was Ireland. “Everybody tells me its a great place to visit, but expensive.” OK, Ben I had already heard that Ireland was expensive from Jackie who was born in Tipperary. Jackie’s sister, Judy and her family, live in Waterford. Jackie and Helen (J’s daughter) and family visited there this summer, but I couldn’t get it together in time to join them. Nonetheless, Waterford was the only place in Ireland that I had as a distinct destination. I had heard a good deal about Judy so now was my chance to meet her. Ben booked passage from Bonn to Dublin. Ben’s friend Hendryk drove us to the Bonn airport where I almost managed to board the wrong plane…..I was sitting in the waiting area for a plane to St. Petersburg, Russia when Ben rescued me.
